The Sefer Yetzirah, or “Book of Formation,” has long been read as a mystical or philosophical work, its references to letters, numbers, and creation treated as metaphor or theology.

Censors banned them. Empires burned them. Readers kept the survivors alive. Some books are dangerous to read. A few are dangerous merely to own, and one or two are dangerous to touch.

The Voynich Manuscript has resisted generations of cryptographers, among them the codebreaker who led the team that broke Japan's diplomatic ciphers.
